Conda Installation of Dev Version Fails

[fjclark]

Describe the bug
While attempting to test SOMD2, I found I couldn't install biosimspace from the openbiosim/label/dev channel. Running mamba env create -f environment.yaml on the SOMD2 env file produced:

I double-checked that

mamba create -n temp "python=3.10" 
mamba install -n temp -c openbiosim/label/dev biosimspace

also fails.

The installation worked when I changed the channel to openbiosim.

• OS: Ubuntu 20.04

This is because there have been no commits to devel since the 2023.5.0 release and I think the old Sire development packages have been moved to our archive. I'll trigger a manual build now so you should have a 2024.1.0.dev package, which will pull in same dev version for Sire.

[lohedges]

Actually, it appears that the 2023.4.1/2.dev Sire packages are still there, so it seems that the pinning isn't working. Will trigger a build anyway.

No - this was my fault. The dev packages on conda are 2024.1.0.dev - the 2023.5.0.dev packages have been removed.

[lohedges]

No problem. I'll just make a note to do a dev build as soon as I create the new tag during the release process. Regardless of the space issue, it makes sense that we don't keep old dev packages knocking around for too long.

Thanks for sorting this!
